About AskingPoint

In Dec. 2011 the AskingPoint founders, who began developing iOS Apps in 2008, saw the need for a SAAS Service for Mobile Apps that did more than simply measure usage and retention. They wanted a way to control and adjust a Rating Widget to target their best users without having to release App updates.

iOS Mobile Apps have a peculiar problem in that updates negatively impact sales and downloads due to the fact that the new version appears to have no ratings. This unfortunate issue is a disincentive to developers to use one of the most effective techniques in other parts of the software world for improving products: rapid iteration.

Thus was Rating Booster and the AskingPoint service born. It has now grown to be used in thousands of Apps on 100’s of Millions of devices. We’re committed to continuing to grow and improve it to be the best service in the world for communicating with your users and remote controlling your Apps!
